God needs us and/or we need God?
-
everything is imaginary, mythical, mystical, transcendental and thus, figment of our imaginations.
not really.
Danish, i do get your point, but for some reason you can't understand that "god" can actually mean something other than what you think it means. The question you should be asking isn't "is God real?" but "what is God?" -
Peace Danish

You can know what is Kemetic philosophy reading Ra Un Nefer books much better than believing blindy faulty net resources. --as you implied by saying "The following is what Kemetic religion is all about"
I came to know it through the books Maat The 11 Laws of God and Metu Neter, I recommend you them, the teachings serve everybody.

Easy folks. The mythical concept of monotheism and one god needs humans to support it....Without humans blindly worshipping an unrealistic entity,god would have no power in the world,eg if everbody just said 'forget god/religion,lets just try to be peaceful and happy to the best of our knowledge and ability',then i feel the 'hypnotic' conditioned effect of god/religion would fade away,and peace could be more realistic....Of course since the 'enlightenment' this has been happening in western society to an extent anyway....Lets hope the fundamentalists,philistines,luddites and sectarians dont gain to much sway in the land...

Peace be upon you Danish,
First you agree that GOD is beyond perception and then you disagree the figment of our imagination. But then again, you bring about "patterns" of GOD, which itself is extraordinary imagination, LOL!! Kyle, you seem confused and not sure which way to go. Who or what is this GOD from which you extract "patterns" from? Unless humans have SEEN and KNOWN who or what GOD actually is, everything is imaginary, mythical, mystical, transcendental and thus, figment of our imaginations.
Let me clarify my position. The God is UNSEEN, however this does not lead to UNPROVEABLE. In the same manner that wind and gravity are unseen, yet proveable by MATHEMATICS. MATHEMATICS proves the Unseen Intelligence responsible for the creation of the Universe. Once we understand that thier is an Intelligence that creates all things according to MATHEMATICAL PATTERNS, and we begin to observe the cycles of the universe (movement of planets, peaking of digestion around 12noon, womens menstruation, etc) then we can extract information from these observable laws.
For what I have observed from most of your posts, you have been promoting the black Kemetic philosophy recently founded in NY and infusing it with Quran. The Kemetic philosophy is a revival of Egyptology. It is similar yet distinct from Quranic discernments. Do you believe in the Quranic or Kemetic wilfullness.
I have been promoting that which has descended upon me AND THOSE BEFORE ME, just as this reading(quran) suggests we do. And there has been no secret at all about that. I do not restrict myself to one text, especially when that text tells me not to. It is not the book called quran that is fully detailed, it is the Universe that is fully detailed. The problem many have is that when they look back to "that which descedned before me", they look only to the Jewish and Christian books, as if no other culture recieved messengers and prophets. I chose to go back to the oldest recorded spiritual philosophy, that records indicate was a "mecca" for knowledge to many cultures. I cannot overstate how beneficial my search has been and that is why I strongly recommend the same books over and over again for those who want help with the very same questions you are posing to me today.
But let me be clear, I deal with that which can be PROVEN, not blind faith, and that is what this reading(quran) is teaching us. It is not teaching us to blindly believe in a single text, it states that the signs are from the horizons to within our spirits(nafs). Lets not close our eyes to wise teachings.
The following is what Kemetic religion is all about
http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ra_Un_Nefer_Amen
http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ausar_Auset_Society
Thank you for sharing that. I just want to add however that this is not "black" kemetic philosophy, just kemetic philosophy. Although it is true that this group is geared towards African and African Americans, knowledge is for everyone and I have never seen anyone turned away from coming to thier classes and certainly not from buying the books or audio cd's of classes. The teaching itself is about transcending your animalistic level, where race is an issue.
I am having a hard time understanding your point.
It's pretty clear and common sense. It touches briefly on how man began his socio-econo lifestyle. Parwez explains slightly better in the link provided by Arnold. Study history of man and reflect upon our current situations. They are very much the same but advanced in materialistic and ornamental ("icing on cakes" fashions via experimentations of nature.
Please provide the link
Quote
The planets are used to symbolize energies in the universe that effect us. The part man part animals symbolized the divine and animal natures of man and how we must transcend the animal nature. They were not "gods", just ways to help people learn. At least this was the way of Khemet, were all came to learn.You are once again mixing the current way of lifestyles to primeval ones and how man excelled to this day. Animals, humans and celestial bodies were, during primitive times, venerated as gods. The Quran also mentions this. Read the "the daughters of God", the story of Abrahim, the "house of Allah" and much more.
Yes, some did, but some did not. If you would take time to understand the teachings of Khemet where much of it came from, you would understand that they did not worship planets and animals, etc.
Its the same as what happens today, many take the metaphors and symbolisms as literal and get astray.

Peace be upon you Elena,
I came to know it through the books Maat The 11 Laws of God and Metu Neter, I recommend you them, the teachings serve everybody.
Exactly! Thank you for confirming that from a non African/African American perspective.
Danish, "MAAT, 11 LAws of God" is very quick read and very informative, I strongly recommend it to all. Metu Neter is a lot more complex.
But again, this is for those who are not stuck to just one text for aquiring knowledge.

Peace be upon you Enquirer,
Easy folks. The mythical concept of monotheism and one god needs humans to support it.
.I am not promoting monotheism, I am promoting the UNIFYING FORCE within man, that same force that makes all the cells work as ONE and coordinates all your unconscious actions such as digesting food, etc. This same "Force" must be cultivated to manifest in the outer world, in our daily actions.
..Without humans blindly worshipping an unrealistic entity,god would have no power in the world,eg if everbody just said 'forget god/religion,lets just try to be peaceful and happy to the best of our knowledge and ability',then i feel the 'hypnotic' conditioned effect of god/religion would fade away,and peace could be more realistic....Of course since the 'enlightenment' this has been happening in western society to an extent anyway....Lets hope the fundamentalists,philistines,luddites and sectarians dont gain to much sway in the land...
I agree, we should not be worshipping a "god out there", that is unrealistic and unverifyable. That which we SERVE is at the core of our being. It is THAT which percieves the world, but itself cannot be percieved. And we can all bear witness to this fact that within us ALL, we have THAT whic percieves, but itself cannot be percieved. That is consciousness itself, the ONE consciousness that manifests through the many earthly vehicles. We do not "worship" That, we serve THAT.

Hello Elena,
wikipedia is not the infallible source of knowledge.
Encyclopedias are sources of extensive and most accurate information containing valuable references to vast line of subject matters. Ofcourse, it is not a detailed instruction book or a coaching/tuitioning manual but enlightens upon the subject itself as to what it is. Kemetic religion is just a grain of salt in the world of information contained in Encyclopedias, such as Wikipedia, Britanica, Answers.com, Encarta, etc.

Maat is another term for "divine law", just like Quran is. They are two totally distinct religions and carries the same blind and delusional beliefs underlying some of the basic universal principles which all religions teaches.
Here's something very interesting....A MUST READ
Ma?t (believed to be pronounced Muh-aht) was the Ancient Egyptian concept of law, morality, and justice which was deified as a goddess. As a goddess, her masculine counterpart was Djehuty (i.e. Thoth) and their attributes go hand in hand. Like Djehuty, she was seen to represent the Logos of Plato. Her primary role in Egyptian mythology dealt with the weighing of words that took place in the Underworld, Duat.Because it was the pharaoh's duty to ensure truth and justice, many of them were referred to as Meri-Ma'at (Beloved of Ma'at). Since she was considered as merely the concept of order and truth, it was thought that she came into existence at the moment of creation, having no creator. When beliefs about Thoth arose and started to consume the earlier beliefs at Hermopolis about the Ogdoad, it was said that she was the mother of the Ogdoad and Thoth the father.

Since you know your Kemetic religion that well, then please let us know what faults did you come across in those wikipedia links that you disagree with and that which is false according to Kemetic beliefs. Do you want me to present other sources besides wikipedia that talks about the same thing but in different wordings? Just because I'm exposing this delusional Kemetic belief, doesn't mean that you start insisting upon it and thereby disbelieve in everything else and start alluding to all other information as faulty. I'm not sure if you know your own Kemetic belief that well but will soon find out. Very typical of Quranists adherents. Now, we are seeing Kemetic and Islamic religioins being infused and cloaked together. What a joke this religionists are becoming, all in the name of their invented gods.

One more thing Does your Kemetic religion promote Muhammad, Islam, Quran and Allah? Yes or NO???

Peace Danish
Since you know your Kemetic religion that well,
Please, quote where I said I know Kemetic well. I am reading and learning about the things I am interested in.then please let us know what faults did you come across in those wikipedia links that you disagree with and that which is false according to Kemetic beliefs.
sure, in the first links you gave, other links are available, I clicked on them but the content had nothing to do with the teachings, that are what is worthy.
The path has been
http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ausar_Auset_Society
on that page I clicked on the word "Kemetic" that gives
http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kemetic_Reconstructionism
in this page I clicked on the word "Amun" as it is presented as part of Kemetic but the resulting page
http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amun has nothing to do with the teachings of that philosphy, then I clicked on "Isis" and seeing the result I gave up, those pages connect with the traditional explanations, history of religions books, etc and not with the Kemetic philopshy I have reading about and from I learnt a lot.Do you want me to present other sources besides wikipedia that talks about the same thing but in different wordings?
of course not, I am asking you not to insist on taking information just from the net, don't beleive just becasue it is written somewhere, verify yourself if you are interested, and if you are not, please, abstain from judging what you don't know.
Just because I'm exposing this delusional Kemetic belief,
you have no idea about it and you call it "delusional" besides, it is not a belief.doesn't mean that you start insisting upon it and thereby disbelieve in everything else and start alluding to all other information as faulty.
What I say is that those sources you take as truth don't explain the teachings of that philosophy. It is you who takes wikipedia to measure kemetic, wrong approach.I'm not sure if you know your own Kemetic belief that well but will soon find out.
you speak as if you knew about it?Very typical of Quranists adherents.
Ia m not a "Quranist adherent" I don't adhere to any religion but to the teachings my mind finds valuable, in any religion, they can come from Jainism, Kemetic, Skhism, Islam or atheism, philosophy, a wise word of a friend, any source.Now, we are seeing Kemetic and Islamic religioins being infused and cloaked together. What a joke this religionists are becoming, all in the name of their invented gods
those words make me say I understand you feel bad about organised religions, any of them can be harmful if imposed and ritualizaded. Once realased from them you will be able to be more objective and take the valuable if they have.One more thing Does your Kemetic religion promote Muhammad, Islam, Quran and Allah? Yes or NO???
noo, it promotes peace, but you are taken literally those words, Muhammad, Islam, etc, yopu are speaking about a man and about an organised religion, if you take islam as peace, then yes, and it is not mine I don't follow any religion Danish!!! it is kemetic philosophy, not an organised religion, I don't "follow" any philosophy, I learn what I can.

Peace be upon you Danish,

Blind and delussional? Give one example.
Here's something very interesting....A MUST READ
Ma?t (believed to be pronounced Muh-aht) was the Ancient Egyptian concept of law, morality, and justice which was deified as a goddess.Incorrect. In the records we read "nebetcher", or LORD OF ALL. Therefore there are no other gods or goddesses. These concepts are more likened to the malaika. Others who came after accussed the ancients of many gods and goddesses. You are doing a blanket search trying to understand information that is misunderstood by most, same way if youdid a blanket research of "Islam", you wouldget a bunch of nonsense. Maat does represent Law however.
As a goddess, her masculine counterpart was Djehuty (i.e. Thoth) and their attributes go hand in hand. Like Djehuty, she was seen to represent the Logos of Plato. Her primary role in Egyptian mythology dealt with the weighing of words that took place in the Underworld, Duat.
Tehuti and Maat both deal with SEEING and by that , MEASURE. Tehuti deals with weighing of words and Maat with weighing of actions. I have no idea how you can compare it to Plato which came after that.
Because it was the pharaoh's duty to ensure truth and justice, many of them were referred to as Meri-Ma'at (Beloved of Ma'at). Since she was considered as merely the concept of order and truth, it was thought that she came into existence at the moment of creation, having no creator. When beliefs about Thoth arose and started to consume the earlier beliefs at Hermopolis about the Ogdoad, it was said that she was the mother of the Ogdoad and Thoth the father.
That is total nonsense. It reminds me of Muhammad having the sexua power of 30 men or some nonsense.

In the same manner, you can present millions of links about sunnisim, will that be a fair assesment of "islam"? I hope you get the point. If you want to critisize, then please go to the information that is being referred to you and draw your critisisms from that.
Just because I'm exposing this delusional Kemetic belief, doesn't mean that you start insisting upon it and thereby disbelieve in everything else and start alluding to all other information as faulty.

All messengers were sent with the same message, we are to trust in that which descedned upon us and those before us. We are no those who join sects.
I myself, and I would assume Elena as well(but she can speak for herself) are in search of TRUTH, no matter where it comes from. What I have come to find out is that the symbolisms of all these teachings are basicaly the same and it is my intention to show as many as possible.
Of course, there is no compulsion for you to follow, but I just ask that if you critisize, do some study first, dont just grab information that you have no experience with and pass it off as law.

Peace be upon you Danish,
One more thing Does your Kemetic religion promote Muhammad
Literal hostorical figure? No
description of one exalting themself through the God's teachings, Yes
Islam?
Arabic religion? No
Descritption of PEACE? Absolutely, Peace (called Amen in Khamit) is the highest goal.
Quran
Literal book? Of course not, it came THOUSANDS of years before that.
The word Quran just means "reading/announcement/proclamation", there are several books that have come out of Khamit such as the "Book of the Coming forth by Day", which would be "quran". ALL teachings are described as quran, our job is to VERIFY the teachings in everyday life.
and Allah?
Yes, the term would be "Nebetcher" (Lord of All) and what ignorant egyptologists, who have no undestanding of African thought, call "gods" are the Malaikah.

Kemetic religion is nothing more than a revival and reconstruction of an ancient pagan belief as an advanced system recently formulated (check any of the links below). Every religion approaches its primitive beliefs in much the same ways as mankind advances and surely but slowly shunning dogmatic pagan ideologies and realizing the most natural and realistic ways of living their lives. All religions are imposed and ritualistic in their own invented and innovated ways.
Islam threatens, apostatizes, condemns and sends all others to hell if they disbelieve in its dogmas (especially the alleged divine historic Quranic laws), which no other religion does with such ferociousness. Actually, Muhammad condemns everyone who disbelieves in his deity named Allah and the system he brings about. Shockingly, this same deity sends wrath upon its own believers by commanding that everyone will taste his punishment. In essence, there's no way out for Muslims. They are stuck in their own whirlpools from moving ahead and thinking straight. We can see a few of the thickest ones trolling around on this forum and thousands of others seen all over the world.
The basic tenants of living a ?peaceful, meaningful and purposeful? life are common to all humankinds, including the atheists and are NOT specific to any religious belief whatsoever. The differences among all organized religions originate from primeval beliefs of false gods and goddesses, myths and mystics, and carry its pagan orthodoxy deeply rooted and presumptuously hidden in an advanced fashion. The TRUE and REAL "maker" of our creations (if there is one) is UNSEEN and UNKNOWN to all mankind. The assumptions and excuses of wind and gravity to become KNOWN yet UNSEEN is not a similitude of a ?maker? that is beyond our capacities. The only TRUTH is REALITY and what is KNOWN and/or SEEN.

In my understanding, this might be true. However there is no doubt that there has been a perversion of the principles, similar to what happened to hinduism, going on. We see strong traces of this in todays masonry (alltho keep in mind, much of the stuff they are into are made up, plain and simple) and the understanding promoted by masonic scholars. There is berufsverbot regarding archeology and egypt. Anyone who doesnt go along with what the pharisees of egyptology wants to belive, is rideculed and several have had their careers ruined for trying. I strongly belive that several generations would have had multiple gods, and thus, the civilisation fell, just like ours is about to for the same very reason.

Danish, if you had the patience you could see that I do not follow religion, I folow that which is verifyable. Once you show me that whatever promote is not verifyable, then you will have a point. Until then, I respect your opinion but you continue to pull up sites about Khemet that are incorrect, the same way a search on Islam will give you thousands of foolish sites.

Yes, I agree, but just as with "islam", I dwell on the proper understandings that were intended by the symbols and metaphors, not what those who "lost thier salaat" came and corrupted.
